It was everything I had imagined. The water was crystal clear. The sand was fine and tinted pink. There was not a cloud in the sky. It was perfect. I was in Greece! Finally, after all the years of pinching pennies, I was here.
I have studied Greek since I was a child. I went to Greek school and have practiced the language since I was eight years old. Now, at the age of twenty five, it seemed like a dream come true to be in the land of my ancestors. Although I had always wanted to come here, I had some ulterior motives for my trip. I planned my trip around National Nude Day with the hope of visiting the most famous nude beach in Greece: Red Beach in Crete.
I had read about this beach and was determined to make it here. Red Beach is located in Southern Crete. The sand is pink in color, hence the name Red Beach. On the Northern side of the beach, there are large rocks and cliffs carved in an ancient Egyptian style. The beach is open to nudists and nudity is welcome all year round.
The sand seeped through my toes as I walked across the beach. The area was moderately populated, but it wasn't over crowded. I set down my beach bag in an open spot. I kicked off my sandals and spread out a thick blanket. I let my curly, blonde hair fall down to my back. I sat down on the edge and looked across the beach. Tanned men and woman walked about. Some women were topless, their breasts swaying from side to side. Others were completely naked. There were men and women of all different sizes, shapes, and nationalities baring their goods to the beauty of nature. I watched these people walk around, comfortable with their own nakedness, but my cheeks unintentionally flushed red.
"Anna," I said to myself. "You didn't fly all the way from Boston to watch other people get naked on Nude Day! Now, take off your top." I fingered the edge of my cotton dress and scooted my butt forward so I could pull the dress up. I gently slid it up my wide hips, over my large breasts, and finally pulled it over my head. I was wearing a bright red bikini underneath. I took a deep breath and reached behind my back to untie my top. The tie came undone and it slipped off.
I felt exposed. I looked frantically around to see if someone was watching me, but no one was paying any attention. I let out a sigh and let my shoulders relax. I found a bottle of sun screen in my bag and applied it liberally to my breasts. They'd never seen the sun and I figured they'd burn pretty easily. I laid back on the blanket. The sun kissed my skin and warmed my body. I felt alive, being exposed on a Greek beach.
The sun was hotter than in Boston but it wasn't nearly as humid. I was about to doze off when a shadow passed over my face. My eyes shot open and I instinctively covered my breasts. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." When my eyes readjusted to the light, I looked up at the voice. It was a man, standing about five feet, ten inches tall, and was completely naked. His skin was bronzed and his hair was dark and messy. He had bright blue eyes and a welcoming smile. He had defined abs, thickly muscled arms and legs, and his dick hung down between his legs.
"I...uhh...It's okay. Um...I'm Anna." I reached my right hand out to him, still instinctively covering myself with the blanket.
"Hi Anna. I'm Konstantinos. May I sit down?"
"Um...yes, of course." I scooted over as far as I could while still holding my breasts. He sat down next to me, our thighs lightly touching.
"You do not have to cover yourself, Anna. Everyone here is naked and it's National Nude Day. Plus, you have a beautiful body and you should not hide it." I blushed at his words and smiled shyly. I slowly let the blanket slip from my fingers. I looked up, Konstantinos was smiling at me.
Konstantinos' teeth shone brightly against his colored skin and he had a bit of stubble on his sharp chin. He was sitting with his legs out stretched and leaning back on his hands. He was long and lean. I tried not to stare at his dick, but I couldn't help myself. Seeing his manhood exposed, I started picturing this man and I, entangled together on the beach.
"So, Anna, what brings you to Red Beach?"
I quickly looked back up to Konstantinos' face. I bit my lower lip and crossed my legs at my ankles, trying to hide the spot of wetness on my bathing suit. "Well, I've always wanted to come to Greece. I'm Greek and I have studied the language since I was a kid. It's also been a dream of mine to go to a nude beach, so I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone. What about you?"
"I live in Greece, in Thessaloniki. I come here every year for Nude Day. I love the freedom and openness of being naked." He rolled on his back with his hands clasped behind his head. He closed his eyes and smiled. Seeing Konstantinos so relaxed, I let myself relax too. I stretched out my legs and lowered my back down onto the blanket. I rested my hands on my stomach and closed my eyes. I inhaled the warm sea air deep into my lungs. We laid in a comfortable silence for a few moments. "So what do you think so far, Anna?"
I opened my eyes. Konstantinos had rolled onto his side, his head resting in his hand, propped up on his elbow. I was captivated by his eyes. I let the words flow freely and let go of any inhibitions I had about this man. "I love Greece! It's everything I imagined it would be."
"Anna, would you like to come out with me tonight? My friends are having a bonfire on the beach after dark. There will food and music and I can teach you how to Greek dance if you'd like."
"Yes. I would like that very much." He grinned and nodded before rolling back onto his back.
"Good. We will go soon. For now, lay back and relax. Enjoy the day with me."
